FORT SMITH (KFSM) - The 2nd Annual Steel Horse Rally is days away and preparations are happening now on Monday (April 25). Restaurants, convenience stores and shops in downtown Fort Smith are looking forward to this busy weekend ahead.

Since they're expecting thousands to be walking up and down the streets of downtown Fort Smith that means one thing for local businesses; it's all hands on deck. Shops and convenience stores are making sure their shelves are fully stocked and have plenty more to replenish.

Several restaurants are gearing up for live entertainment outside with hopes of drawing people in. Some stores are even extending their hours this coming weekend, such as the Garrison Pointe.

Employees said overall this weekend is huge for business. "It's a good weekend for the whole strip," said Mandie Karns with the Garrison Pointe. She adds, "It's fun to see all the people this event brings in from out of town."

The event kicks off on Friday (April 29) at noon on Garrison Avenue with the event wrapping up on Sunday morning.
